I must admit, I am utterly obsessed right now with my self portrait project (to recap, I took on a 365 day self portrait challenge--posting a self portrait daily for a year). It feels so insanely self-indulgent to be working so much on portraits of my own face, but so fun! I mean, who else has the patience to sit through my learning curve with lighting and endless shots? I understand why so many artists paint self-portraits now. I mean, if Frida could do it, why not me? But, if anyone in Tucson wants to pose for photos--please let me know, I'd love to photograph you!!
I found this amazing little app called Noir -- it allows you to create these dramatic, jet black backdrops and bright white highlights. I'm really intrigued by the possibilities with creating little dramas in images using Noir photos.
Some day soon, I want to fully stage some "drama" photo shoots. I have today and Monday off, so maybe I'll try to do something fun!
